ORPHA:83453Disease
What it is
A rare, non-malformative vulvovaginal disease characterized by a combination of erosive or desquamative lichen planus (LP) of vulval, vaginal and gingival mucosae, with a high propensity for scarring and stricture formation. Additional sites of involvement are frequently observed (in particular, tongue, buccal mucosae, skin and perianal LP). Patients may be asymptomatic or, more commonly, present with pain, burning, discomfort and bleeding, dyspareunia, and seropurulent vaginal discharge.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
